Steve Holt, et al, Set to Return in Arrested Development Movie

This isn’t a trick or an illusion: Arrested Development may be making a return – this time to the big screen.

Jason Bateman revealed that Mitch Hurwitz and Ron Howard (the creative team behind the show) have been making the rounds through the former cast to see if they’d be interested. Jeffrey Tambor also recently revealed similar news.

Eonline.com reported that everyone involved is open and excited about returning to the material. Awesome!

Bateman also said that the project would, naturally, only go forward once the strike is over, which looks like it might be soon.

This has me thinking – CC2K has yet to tackle Arrested Development in any meaningful way. We need to change that.
